  • “Henry VIII, a Dazzling Renaissance Prince and the Great Matter”
    UNIVERSIDAD DE MAGALLANES FACULTAD DE HUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS SOCIALES Y DE LA SALUD Departamento de Educación “Henry VIII, a Dazzling Renaissance Prince and the Great Matter” By: Jessica Alvarado Guerrero Gustavo Leal Navarro Jimena Montenegro Gallardo Pablo Torres Barrientos Tutor: Alicia Triviño Punta Arenas- 2010 0 ABSTRACT As the title of this monograph suggests, this research focuses on King Henry VIII’s “Great Matter”, and how relevant it was to the whole process of the English Reformation covering a period of 17 years (1530-1547). Through this analysis, this work evidences the whole process of Reformation that England went through during the XVI century. As a result, the English Church becomes independent from the authority of the Pope. The main purpose of this investigation is to carefully examine the primary and secondary facts that prompted the separation from the Catholic Church on the grounds that the Henrician Reformation developed differently, in relation to the European process. Furthermore, this work intends to unveil the true nature of King Henry VIII’s character and the way his actions, way of living, beliefs and thoughts influenced on the separation of the Church and as a result lead to the Reformation era. After all, Henry VIII was one of the most controversial political figures of all times. The most important highlights in King Henry VIII’s life are presented in order to contextualize the reader to the conditions that conducted to the most striking changes that Catholic England had undergone. Together with Henry’s Great Matter, this work also presents a complete account of the King’s personal life, to make the reader understand the decisions made by Henry in critical times, covering from the relationships with his wives, mistresses, children to his medical records, controversial aspects in his life that for most historians turned him into a tyrant while for some other, one of the greatest English Kings ever.

  • Manuscript: “Sanctifying Rites in Milton's a Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634”
    Manuscript: “Sanctifying rites in Milton’s A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634”1 Published in Christianity & Literature 2019, Vol. 68(2) 193–212 Reading Stanley Fish’s chapters on Comus in How Milton Works is a hermeneutical challenge not unlike reading Milton himself. Fish’s picture of the Lady is the crux of his approach, and it is a picture whose edges seem to shift depending on the reader’s stance. This may be intentional, a portrayal of the “double perspective” which for Fish is the poem’s basic narrative technique: “The form of these questions is ‘either-or,’ but the answer in every case is ‘both-and’: the earth is both a pinfold and a gem, depending on whether you are tied to it by ‘low-thoughted care’ or live, at least in sprit, in ‘Regions mild of calm and serene Air’ (6, 4).”2 As such, misreading Fish may be identical to misreading Milton.3 So that the reader may judge, I want to begin by briefly developing what I understand to be Fish’s argument. Picking up at the point where Comus has immobilized the Lady and left her with nothing by way of outside support, Fish writes: “Yet, as it turns out, she is left with everything— everything that matters. This is what is meant when she says to Comus, ‘Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind’ (663), or, in other words, ‘All of this—my weakness, your strength, the entire situation as it seems to be—is beside the point. I may be imprisoned in every sense you can conceive, but in truth I am free.’”4 What primarily matters is how one inhabits Nature and the natural self; “Temperance, then, is a positive and liberating action” and Nature’s value “is a function of your relationship to it—a prison if you allow yourself to be confined within its 1 I am grateful to David Aers, Matthew Smith, and the anonymous readers and editorial staff of Christianity and Literature for their helpful input on earlier drafts of this essay.

  • The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages
    The Archaeology of Castle Slighting in the Middle Ages Submitted by Richard Nevell, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Archaeology in October 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Medieval castle slighting is the phenomenon in which a high-status fortification is demolished in a time of conflict. At its heart are issues about symbolism, the role of castles in medieval society, and the politics of power. Although examples can be found throughout the Middle Ages (1066–1500) in England, Wales and Scotland there has been no systematic study of the archaeology of castle slighting. Understanding castle slighting enhances our view of medieval society and how it responded to power struggles. This study interrogates the archaeological record to establish the nature of castle slighting: establishing how prevalent it was chronologically and geographically; which parts of castles were most likely to be slighted and why this is significant; the effects on the immediate landscape; and the wider role of destruction in medieval society. The contribution of archaeology is especially important as contemporary records give little information about this phenomenon. Using information recovered from excavation and survey allows this thesis to challenge existing narratives about slighting, especially with reference to the civil war between Stephen and Matilda (1139–1154) and the view that slighting was primarily to prevent an enemy from using a fortification.
